Forty companies, comprising 400 men, took part in these contests, and it is very gratifying to note the fast time made; Weber Works breaking all previous records in wet test, Osborne Works in dry test. Piano Works in cutting-out test, and Hamilton Works in coupling test. The time of S| seconds in couphng test is within three- fifths second of the world's records made by profes¬ sional runners clad in running suits and spiked shoes, using a nozzle 7 pounds lighter, and oiled couplings, while the equipment used by our men was all standard fire-fighting equipment and the men were clad in work¬ ing apparel.

Harvester World magazine was first published by International Harvester Company in October of 1909. From 1909 to 1946, Harvester World functioned primarily as an employee magazine, carrying news from various factories, branch houses and dealerships around the world. The magazine included biographical sketches of employees; notices of retirements and promotions; announcements regarding new company initiatives or building projects; and a variety of other news relating to nearly every facet of the company’s world wide operations. The magazine was published by the company’s Advertising Department, and also functioned as a way for headquarters to communicate with dealerships. In 1946, the magazine was redesigned and eventually shifted from an employee magazine to a more customer-oriented focus. By the 1950s, most Harvester Articles were human interest stories centering on the people and organizations who used International Harvester products. At the same time, photography became an increasingly important element in the content and presentation of the magazine. The magazine was discontinued in 1969.
